Dozens of stocky, bearded men resembling Ernest Hemingway are to return to Key West for the 2021 Hemingway Look-Alike Contest, after the global coronavirus pandemic preempted the 2020 competition.
Organizers announced recently that this summerâs contest is scheduled July 22-24 at Sloppy Joeâs Bar, where it began some 40 years ago.
Preliminary rounds are slated for Thursday and Friday, July 22-23, with a reduced entry field of 35 contestants each night. The winner will be chosen Saturday, July 24, from about 24 finalists.
âIn (the) past weâve had upwards of 85 contestants in our preliminary rounds, meaning 85 on Thursday, 85 on Friday,â said Donna Edwards, the competitionâs organizer. âWeâre limiting the number of contestants at this time; we want to make sure that weâre able to put on a great show and a safe show.â
